Please contact a member of our Customer Support Team if you wish to configure any of the settings in this article.

It's important to know that your assets are protected so Asset Bank comes with a range of options for configuring how your users register and log in. This article is intended for customers using the default local login, rather than SSO.

Registration

By default, a 'Register for an account' link is displayed on the Asset Bank login page. This opens up the registration form which, once filled in, is submitted for approval by an admin user. This option can be removed if you do not wish for users to be able to request a user account. In this instance, new users will need to be manually added by an admin user.

If you do allow new users to register but you want to ensure that you know all you can about who is registering, you can enforce a strict registration which makes all user fields mandatory.

Registering without approval

There is also an option to allow new users to register without approval in which instance their account is created automatically. This is not recommended as anyone with your Asset Bank URL can log in with the permissions of the 'Logged-In Users' group.

Selecting Groups on Registration

You can give users the option to request a particular group on registration by editing the group in the Admin > Groups area and ticking the 'Users can select group on registration' option.

By default, users can only select one of the allowed groups but this behaviour can be changed to allow multiple groups to be selected.

It can also be configured that the registering user must select a group on registration.

Logging In

Password Security

Once approved, users will need to set a password. By default, passwords must contain at least 8 characters, a number and a capital letter.

For additional security, users can be forced to change their passwords every X days.

Locking Users

By default, if a user attempts to log in unsuccessfully 10 times in 12 hours then their user account is locked for 24 hours. These restrictions can be tightened or loosened to meet your needs.

Admin users can 'Unlock' accounts by visiting Admin > Users, searching for the username, clicking 'More' and then 'Unlock User'.
